Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"So that's what 'deep enter' meant..."

Xuan Ge stood by the bed, head lowered as he fastened the buttons of his Dragon Robe, muttering a line under his breath.

Huang Quan had indeed touched his body, entered his heart, displayed his foundation, and then she came to sever it.

From start to finish, it was all literal meaning.

His own brain, the one that automatically navigated onto a forked path, was purely led astray by a certain bad woman with horns on her head and a tail behind her.

"What are you lost in?" Huang Quan caught her breath, sitting by the bed, her gaze settling quietly on his face.

"Nothing." Xuan Ge smiled, the smile flashing across the corner of his mouth and gone, then he straightened his expression and asked, "Smooth?"

"Not too smooth." Huang Quan shook her head slightly, "It's my fault. I should have come to find you earlier."

She sighed, the breath very light, but Xuan Ge heard the layer of something pressed inside it.

After the Third Abundance War, she should have come.

But she actually would also be afraid — afraid of being treated as a plaything in Xuan Ge's palm.

Those countless selves of hers all resisted this person intensely.

"Delayed too long. Nihility has already painted your path here black."

Hearing this, Xuan Ge wasn't anxious. Since Huang Quan had a way, then grind it slow, it'll wear away eventually.

"No rush, rest here first." He just wanted to send a transmission to have someone prepare some food, when his sleeve was suddenly tugged lightly.

"This is a massive hidden danger for you." Huang Quan's fingers pinched his sleeve edge, voice flat, words not light, "Once you receive some stimulation, you'll become extreme."

"What stimulation could I receive?" Xuan Ge smiled in rebuttal, his complexion very composed.

"Ling Sha."

The smile on Xuan Ge's face paused for an instant.

"Hehe~~ You really saw it, huh." He let out a dry laugh, something tightening beneath the smile.

"You're angry at your own incompetence. Even if you misunderstood my meaning of 'deep enter', you still had to proceed."

"All this, because you care too much about Ling Sha.

" Huang Quan released his sleeve, staring straight into his eyes.

Those golden pupils had already begun to seep a kind of very faint, but indeed existent, coldness.

She stood up, didn't look away, continued speaking: "Ling Sha seems to have everything — military authority, status."

"But all this is yours."

"She herself doesn't have much power, she only has you. So you give her everything you possess."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xuan Ge looked at her.

These aren't any secrets, anyone who truly understands him knows — and Huang Quan just entered his heart, sees clearer than anyone.

"I saw the real you. Flesh and blood, rich in emotion, moving."

Huang Quan set her blade aside, walked before him, fingers hooking onto her own belt.

"So, I feel I should use a better method."

Xuan Ge retreated a step, raised a hand to stop her undressing motion: "Wait. My head's a bit messy, let me sort it out."

"Okay." Huang Quan stopped immediately, not a single extra movement.

"Do you like me?" Xuan Ge asked directly, not a single beat around the bush.

"I hate you." Huang Quan's answer was straight as a blade.

Xuan Ge looked at her like this, saying whatever straight out, and had no response.

He took a deep breath, continued sorting downward: "Fine, you hate me. But because you're afraid I'll walk toward self-destruction, you help me eliminate Nihility."

"Right."

"You're actually being forced right now?"

"Right."

Xuan Ge clicked his tongue, no anger, all helplessness: "Did I really force you? In words or actions?"

"No." Huang Quan shook her head.

"Then how did I force you?" Xuan Ge suddenly laughed — from anger.

How did I get placed in the villain's position?

Huang Quan fell silent for an instant. This question suddenly became very brain-burning.

She lowered her head, brows furrowing slightly.

Xuan Ge watched the tips of that head of purple hair slowly fade, turning white from the ends, spreading upward.

Form two too?

His brow arched.

This is... too amazing, right.

"Don't mislead me." Huang Quan shook her head, shaking Xuan Ge's inducement out of her head, lifted her head again.

"This kind of thing is clearly taking advantage of you."

Xuan Ge looked at Huang Quan, this cold yet blank yet serious look of hers, corner of his mouth unconsciously curved up, smiled: "Action of force, isn't it mutual?"

Huang Quan fell silent again. The silence lasted longer than last time.

"... You're right." She accepted those words, her fingers returning to her belt, continuing to undress.

"Let's continue. This time, I'll guide that stubborn, unyielding Nihility to me."

"If one shot—" Xuan Ge paused, correcting himself, "Uh, once isn't enough?"

"Then continuously. Until I've cleared the Nihility from you."

By the time she finished speaking, her clothes had already slipped off.

Huang Quan stood before him, raising her eyes, and discovered Xuan Ge still standing there fully clothed, his expression darkening slightly.

"Off, off, off, right now." Seeing she was serious, Xuan Ge didn't say another word, shedding the Dragon Robe he'd just put on in a few quick moves.

Huang Quan stepped forward, raised her hand to cradle Xuan Ge's cheek, fingers resting along his jawline.

She recalled the method Dahlia had described, rose on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips to his.

After kissing for a while, she stopped, her face expressionless, but her brow furrowed slightly.

She remembered what Dahlia said—lying down is more comfortable.

"You are indeed quite tall." She let go, tilting her head back to look at Xuan Ge, who stood a full head taller than her.

"Let's lie down." Huang Quan took his hand and led him to the bedside.

Xuan Ge obediently lay down, the back of his head resting on the pillow, eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Huang Quan leaned over, pressing her body against his, and exhaled lightly.

This position really was much more comfortable.

She lowered her head, pressing her lips to his once more.

Xuan Ge lay there, his gaze vacant, staring straight up at the ceiling.

Huang Quan merely pressed her lips to his, then didn't move at all. He

waited for what came next, but it was slow in coming.

All told, she'd been kissing for nearly a minute, perfectly still, like executing an operation command that only specified the initial action with no subsequent process.

But the Nihility was indeed being slowly cleared—though he didn't understand why this method could clear Nihility.

Huang Quan suddenly released his lips, straightened up, and looked down at him in puzzlement: "Why so slow?"

"Don't ask that yet." Xuan Ge raised his hand, gently tucking her hanging hair behind her ear, then asked, "Who taught you all this?"

"Dahlia."

Xuan Ge: "........"

Xuan Ge closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again: "What did you ask her?"

"She told me this lets me understand you most deeply. And she said it can make me feel good enough to die."

Huang Quan tilted her head, her hair sliding down again to fall on Xuan Ge's face, tickling.

"You believed her?"

Huang Quan nodded, her tone without a shred of doubt: "She's your Consort Li. I naturally believe her."

Xuan Ge took a deep breath, said nothing, grabbed the back of Huang Quan's head, and proactively kissed her.

Huang Quan closed her eyes, continuing to focus on clearing the Nihility.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open.

"Mmph—"

This kiss was completely different from Huang Quan's "just pressing without moving" just now.

His hand slid from the back of her head to her lower back, palm against her skin, gently flipping their positions.

Breathing even, tongue tip still, body not moving, not the slightest sign of active cooperation, but no dodging either.
